Honourable Mentions:> The Silence of the Lambs (would have been there if Mads Mikkelsen's performance in TV Hannibal didn't make me think twice)> Guy Ritchie's Snatch/Lock, Stock (couldn't pick) (hell, throw Layer Cake in there too for good measure)> Shawshank Redemption (didn't want to waste a spot on an obviously fantastic film)> Trainspotting (it's not an easy watch sometimes, but ranks just about everywhere else)> Just about any John Hughs film, which I watch all the time but doesn't quite hit the tippy-tippy-top.> Ghibli/Disney, blah blah blah. A lot of their titles hold a fond space in my heart.> D2 The Mighty Ducks

I have trouble thinking of my top 5 favorite movies, let alone 7. Not because I haven't seen a lot of good movies, but because I never really retain them. ~1.5-4 hours is rarely enough time to leave an impression on me. But I'll try:

Summer Wars - I really liked the family aspect here, and I felt like the whole virus part of the story acted as a visual representation of the problems they were going through, which was sealed it for me. Plus it, was really pretty.

.................................screw it, the rest are all kid's moves that I haven't seen in years. Except maybe Rush Hour 2 and The Men in Black. Though I'm now I'm wondering if I actually liked Rush Hour 3 and The Men in Black 3 more, but I don't really remember much of either of them right now, so...

Oh wait, I watched the animated Transformers: The Movie when I was 16. I loved it, and the Optimus "death" scene really did have balling, even I though never saw more than 3 episodes of the original series as a kid.

Pacific Rim- Best action in a movie that I have ever seen. Absolutely amazing.

Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters- I really hope I'm not getting the title mixed up with All Monsters attack, because one of those is the best classic Godzilla movie, the other is the worst. I think I have the name right though.

Serenity- Great movie "conclusion" to the series

Inception- An extremely creative movie concept with excellent visual effects to bring the concept to life

Inside Out- Another creative concept that was extremely well done

The Incredibles- Enjoyable film that had been my favorite Pixar movie prior to Inside Out

Star Wars: A New Hope- While it has been a while since I last saw it, it is too much a part of my childhood to not make the list

I basically stand by the logic that if I find myself watching a movie from any point I flip it on at, it's preferred or I haven't seen it in ages. Snatch I can watch the last 30 seconds of and still be happy, same for Pacific Rim and Kung Pow. Hell; every movie I named I can watch whenever it's on without objection.

Donnie Darko (original, NOT director's cut!)The Village (most people argue M. Night peaked at Unbreakable or Sixth Sense. I think this was his peak before his disastrous descent into crap film-making)Castle in the Sky (Laputa)The Neverending StoryInterstella 5555Can't Hardly Wait (don't ask ... it's completely illogical why I like this so much)Let the Right One In
